I’ve lost count the number of times that I have visited Dosa Hut and this is owning to the fact the food is just impeccable.

Dosa Hut is situated in the heart of Fordsburg’s busiest streets which can be intimidating. Parking can be an issue. The restaurant is rather small and can become crowded and noisy which leads to having to wait for space but it’s every bit worth it.

They specialise in all Indian cuisine with South Indian cuisine the main focus. The Dosas are a hit and a must eat along with the Thali. The food is always fresh, tasty, flavourful, spicy but not over the top (you can ask for hotter variants) and all round simply scrumptious. A must visit when you are in Johannesburg.

I love their food , honestly one of the best indian and more specifically southern indian food resturants out there. The masala dosa is a must try

The area is a bit sketchy to some but the food really makes it worth the trip. Really authentic South Indian flavors. Crispy masala dosa, flakey Kerala style paratha, chettinad spices. The list will go on and on. Spice level just medium so that you can still taste all the complexities of real South Indian cuisine. This restaurant will stay on my list to visit again and again.

And I did visit again and again, mostly for the veg items. The masala dosa is so consistently good.
The Kerala style paratha I had on my last visit was excellent as well.

Absolutely delicious South Indian food, the flavors are amazing. I don't normally enjoy cauliflower but the Gobi Manchoorian was so good. Just the taste of it with the naan was divine. Loved the pani puri, paneer dosa and Uthappam. We also tired the bombay crush, which was very nice. The masala wasn't strong like I normally like it but that's my own preference. Prices are reasonable and staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend trying Dosa Hut out for an authentic food experience.

Good food and servings are generous. If you have kids ask for something mild because all that we ordered where hot. It's a very unique blend of spices that one does not commonly taste. Appart from our wobbly table the service was friendly and accommodating.

Great food at a great price and also good service. Recommend the masala dosa, tattu dosa, onion uttapam, masala fried fish with Kerala paratha, Butter chicken with the chilli and garlic naan, Chicken Kondattom, Onion Pakodas, South Indian special tea and also the Bombay crush. Generally, everything on the menu is of a high standard for a reasonable price.

I have to note that upon my last visit, there was a new menu with some price changes. Of particular note, the mutton bunny price changed from R85 to R115. I love their bunny BUT i cannot in all honesty recommend same at that price. As a Durbanite, who has been eating bunnies all my life, I have never paid (nor should you pay) more than R100 for a quarter bunny chow.
